Samveda (Acharya Dharmadev Vidya Martand)

English
Samveda (Acharya Dharmadev Vidya Martand) - English
Translation
O God, preach unto us more of this purifying knowledge, imparted by Thee - the Lord of the universe, in the Veda, our holy refuge. Just as an aspirant after fruit shakes a tree full of ripe fruits and gets down many of them, so dost Thou, the Preserver of the innermost knowledge, grant for the pleasure of the soul, sixty thousand gems of knowledge.
Comment
Un-fortunately many commentators of the Sama Veda, in English, Sanskrit and Hindi have not been able to explain the expression षष्टिंसहस्रा वसूनि Generally they think it means an infinite number. Swami Bhagavadacharya ji in his Sanskrit commentary says षष्टिं सहस्राणीतिवैदिकानामानन्त्ये पारिभाषिकः शब्दः । In Hindi He says विदित होता है कि ६० सहस्र बोलने की वैदिकों की एक पद्धति है जैसे आजकल लोग कहते हैं कि हमने लाख प्रयत्न किया परन्तु फल कुछ नहीं हुआ । Principal Devi ji Chand ji M.A has translated it only as ‘thousands of the gems of knowledge.’ It is clear that the exact significance of षष्टिसहस्रा or 60 thousand, he was not able to understand. Shri Pandit Jaya Deva Ji Vidyalankar Vidya Martanda writes आप परमेश्वर ६० हजार या १०६० ज्ञानरत्नों को आत्मा की आनन्दप्राप्ति के लिये हमें प्राप्त कराओ । But no explanation has been attempted by him for the significance of either 60 thousand or 1060. Shri Virendra Shastri has simply followed him by saying आप आत्मिक आनन्द के लिये हमें १०६० अथवा ६० हजार वसुओं को प्राप्त कराइये । No doubt, it is one of the most difficult passages of the Veda. To me it appears after deep meditation that 60000 may stand for threefold (Spiritual, social and cosmic) explanation of about 20000. Mantras of the four Vedas, which all have been compared to gems. It is generally admitted that every mantra of the Veda has got three meanings आध्यात्मिक or spiritual आधिभौतिक or social and आधिदैविक or cosmic. त्रयोऽर्थाः सर्ववेदेषु is the well known saying of Shri Ananda Tirtha and other scholars.
